Our own Dave White wrote yesterday that 2018 recruit Artur Sitkowksi has flipped his commitment from the University of Miami to Rutgers. For many, it may have been a brief headline. Perhaps the average fan saw it and possibly said, “Oh, that’s nice,” or even, “Wow, that’s great!”
It always feels good when a recruit flips to your school. Just a week or so ago, I wrote about how Raheem Blackshear flipped to Rutgers from Michigan State on National Signing Day in 2017. We have seen that happen in reverse, most notably in the Class of 2014, when the bottom dropped out of the recruiting class after all of the scandals and a poor 2013 season combined to see recruits slip away, including 4-star recruit Saeed Blacknall.
